Jun 14, 2004. I was born in East Chicago, Indiana.I moved to GA in 1994. My father was from Independence, MO & mother from Barnardsville(Asheville), NC. My great grandmother(MO) kept great family notes(she had 15 children)and wrote her own family book, which my great aunt updates ever year now, she is the last one living out of the 15(2014). My dad was into genealogy & I became interested when my great-grandmother sent me a copy of her family history book in 1986. Back then, of course, inquiries were done by snell-mail.My biggest family searches are;...in MO are Long, Willoughby, Newland, Wilson, & Oshel......in NC, particularly Buncombe Co., all family connections of Rice's, Whittemore's, Ramsey, Hurst, & Woodard.... in Carter Co., TN is Berry, Clark, Taylor, & McKinney...I get excited when I find a new link in my family lines, so I also enjoy helping others find theirs.I appreciate any comments, corrections, & additions requests (**EVERYONE makes a mistake sometimes**).*most of my memorials are my own family, so a possible transfer is not likely.* a memorial of someone who died over 70 yrs ago is probably out of FAG guideline of family transfers. Thanks
